# Home Behind Lite vs Marooned

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Marooned at 77% against Home Behind Lite's 33%. Marooned also leads on ratings volume (119 vs 7). Home Behind Lite's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 13). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Marooned sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Home Behind Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.

Home Behind Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Marooned has 119 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Home Behind Lite's written reviews are positive against 77% of Marooned's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
